Vladimir Putin is a hero!

Vladimir Putin is a hero! Yes, he is. And the more I tell you about it, the more you will be shocked. Promised.

I got into this story by an episode of Rachel Maddow’s TV show on 25th. July 2018:

.@maddow shows how the White House transcript and video of the Trump-Putin press conference in Helsinki has been edited to remove the question asking Putin if he wanted Trump to win the election. https://t.co/PMD9fkGlA3

After more than a week of questions, the presidential record reflects that Putin admitted to wanting Trump to win.

Nine days after The Atlantic first reported that part of a key exchange between a reporter and Vladimir Putin was missing from the official White House transcript of the Russian leader’s press conference with Donald Trump, the White House has corrected the error. It made the fix after facing repeated questions from reporters about the discrepancy over the past week and, most recently, allegations that the Trump administration had intentionally altered the text. The White House now denies this, blaming the problem on a technical glitch.

The Reuters reporter Jeff Mason’s first question, “President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election?” which didn’t show up in the original transcript, now appears alongside his second question: “And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?”

The full quote is critical to understanding the meaning of what Putin says next: “Yes, I wanted him to win, because he talked about the normalization of Russian–American relations.” (According to the English translation broadcast during the press conference, which is also used in the White House transcript, Putin responded, “Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.” But Russian speakers told me this is an inaccurate translation, and the Russian president was clearly saying “yes” to preferring Trump over Hillary Clinton—not to directing his government to assist Trump in defeating Clinton.)

Putin, in other words, was publicly admitting for the first time that he favored the Republican candidate because of Trump’s conciliatory approach to Russia, and therefore acknowledging a motive for meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election even as he contested claims that he had done so. The admission became even more significant this week, when Trump, who has long rejected the notion that Putin preferred him over Clinton, expressed concerns about Russia seeking to help Democrats in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. “No President has been tougher on Russia than me,” he wrote on Twitter. The Russians “definitely don’t want Trump!” Putin’s statement only days earlier seemed to directly contradict that argument. He had declared, essentially: I wanted Trump.

On Tuesday night, in the wake of Trump’s tweet, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow opened her show by portraying Mason’s cut-off question in the White House transcript, and video of the press conference, as evidence that the Trump administration had deliberately edited out the context for Putin’s answer. As she noted, the omission was left uncorrected for a week without explanation despite The Atlantic, and then other news outlets such as CNN and NPR, highlighting the issue and asking the White House for comment. The goal, she suggested, was to obscure the truth about Putin’s preferences and Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, and more broadly engage in “information warfare.”

“A critical exchange deleted from the transcript, a reporter’s question edited out of the videotape, the U.S. government essentially following the Kremlin’s playbook and maintaining that something we all saw happen with our own eyes, we all heard happen with our own ears, has nevertheless disappeared, like old political opponents being airbrushed out of photos,” Maddow asserted. “It’s creepy. Turns out it wasn’t a mistake. Turns out it was on purpose.”

Others soon argued that the omission might in fact have simply been a mistake—a result of the White House transcription service, like private transcription services used by some news outlets, missing the first part of Mason’s question because he asked it as a switch was occurring between the feed from the reporters and the feed from the translator. (The Atlantic noted the microphone and simultaneous-translation glitches in its report last week.)

Hearing Rachel Maddow on 25th July 2018, I had a flash of thought that Rachel Maddow had had a flash of insight. So I now tried to listen to the video clip very carefully. And I realized that she had NOT had that insight. But “The Atlantic”, in its article of 26th. July 2018, added some more facts – which make the whole scenario more complex.

Do note the difference between the two translations:

1. really happened:

“Yes, I wanted him to win, because he talked about the normalization of Russian–American relations.”

2. White House transcript:

“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.”

.

Now, many translators, especially live translators, are a pest. Even a high-school student in many situations can do it better than they do. In this case, yes, there is a difference, but the real essence is “yes, I wanted him to win” (for whatever reasons…).

I use a large quote of the article of “The Atlantic”, because it shows how complicated and complex things are, or can get. This is essential to realize.

.

Now to the real background, to the real story behind all that:

Vladimir Putin is a hero!

Yes, Vladimir Putin is a hero. There can be no doubt about it. Details come into sunlight slowly, one after the other. One being that Putin DID interfere with the US elections in 2016. And not only that! He had begun years earlier with his intelligence work.

Vladimir Putin had been the head of the Russian secret service, the KGB. He had had the training on the job, and it brought him to the top. He knows his profession. He knows it well, and so he began to do what is written in the handbook of the intelligence agencies since the time of Metternich and the Vienna Congress: he destabilized.

I have no doubt that many disturbing things going on in many countries are fueled by Russian agents. Why? Just to destabilize. That is a key element of intelligence warfare.

So we can be sure that the right-wing groups are fueled by intelligence agencies. And the organized crime “Scientology” is fueled by intelligence agencies. And the anti-vax movement is fueled by intelligence agencies. Just in order to destabilize.

It is as easy as that. It is the very basics of intelligence work.

And Vladimir Putin had been the head of the Russian intelligence. He is no genius. He only followed the handbook. He did his job. And Trump did what he was paid for.

Putin had begun his activities years ago. And he had enabled Donald Trump. The question is: WHY!?

Why on earth should Putin bring an idiot like Donald Trump into the White House office?

Very simple: Because Trump is an idiot. Trump can be handled like a puppet on a string. And the Republicans, which at some time might even have been a political party, is a shambles. To foul that up is easy.

So, the first step is to infiltrate and to enable certain people.

So far this all is comprehensible. Now comes the critical part: OVERDO IT!

The Russian activities targeted people who are, politely said, not the very brightest. Not the brightest. Not the brightest at all. So, deliberately pushed – or not (we don’t know) -, the whole inflated Trump gangster organization is doomed to collapse. The media will report about that globally. And the guy pulling the wires is… Vladimir Putin. He is a villain, but he is a successful villain. He is the super-villain. He is a hero.

Putin achieved what no one achieved before: to get an idiot into the White House and let him run havoc. Putin did that. Putin is a hero.
.

But the story does not end here. No, here the real story just begins!

What did Putin do?

* Establish an idiot into the White House.
* Let it leak into the media.

Trump is doomed. We don’t know when Trump realized that. But I am sure that Trump by now knows what HIS PART is in the game.

This is, this exactly is what I had thought that Rachel Maddow had realized. But, alas, she didn’t. She did not realize that Vladimir Putin is after the Democrats. They are his real prey, from the very beginning.

After having ruined the Republicans completely, Trump gangsters being in Jail or bailed out by the Russians, who will be the next group in power at the White House: The Democrats.

Now, let’s make a guess. Just a very simple one. If Vladimir Putin was able to infiltrate into the Republican Party, wouldn’t he also have been able to infiltrate into the Democratic party?

You can bet on that.

Vladimir Putin is no genius. It is all written in the handbook of intelligence!

So, whatever will happen in the future, who are Putin’s puppets with the Democrats?
